Contemporary Painting: Developing your Practice

Tutor: Sarah Jane Moon | Wednesdays 10am – 4pm | 12 weeks 

This advanced, project-based painting course is designed to support students in creating ambitious, conceptually driven work using both photographic reference and direct observation. You’ll explore how to develop paintings from multiple sources while resolving compositional and pictorial challenges in the studio. With a focus on contemporary practice, you’ll research and discuss the work of living artists, examining their methods and processes to inform your own. The course centres on two sustained projects, encouraging thoughtful planning, experimentation, and personal narrative development. Some independent research, writing and informal presentation will be required.

Students are required to bring their own materials and should refer to the materials list below before their course starts. (#WD26)
